About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Convention, including several UN bodies, psychotropic substance, preparation, and the schedules. Article 2 defines key terms and sets out how substances may be reviewed, scheduled, transferred, or deleted under the Convention. A Party may notify others that it bans imports of certain listed substances, and if a Party is notified of such a ban it must prevent export of those substances to the notifying Party. Each Party must criminalize intentional acts that violate the Convention’s implementing laws or regulations and make serious offences punishable, especially by imprisonment or another loss-of-liberty penalty. Preparations containing psychotropic substances are generally controlled like the substances they contain, but some may be exempted if they pose negligible abuse risk and no public health or social problem. Parties must notify exemption decisions, and records must be kept for at least two years.
